Sale of the anti-impotence drug Viagra won unanimous Legco backing last night but the long-awaited pills may not be available for weeks......Health officials said the vote meant the drug could be legal for use on prescription by February 5.......Urologists expect a stampede when the tablets become available, with 10 per cent of men in the SAR believed to be impotent......."This really is a new era in treatment," said Kwong Wah Hospital urologist and
panel member Dr Andrew Yip Wai-chun.......He said about 200,000 men were impotent and more than a million had at least occasional erectile problems. His clinic had been bombarded for months with requests for Viagra ........"Erectile dysfunction has serious psychological implications," Dr Yip said. "We've seen divorce and lots of family problems because of it, and I really hope we can help these people.".....Pfizer representative Angel Choi Lai-kei
said the company still needed final government permission to import the drug, after which shipping would be organised. "It could be a week to a month," she said.
